I do remember those cards. I loved Sunday School. Did they ever use the felt boards when you were little where they would put up felt pictures on a felt background as they told the Bible story? My favorite was Moses and the Bullrushes. xo Diana

Hi Patti! Thank you so much for hosting your party today. I adore seeing those beautiful Bible cards. I don't think I have ever seen them before so thanks for sharing those with us too. I'm like Lydia...I have to miss church sometimes too.

I remember Sunday School so well, my Mother was always a teacher. I have had some trouble downloading your blog recently and today I was so pleased when it can right up! I hate to miss any of your wonderful posts.

Patti,I was reading your post before I linked up and was surprised to see I was featured this week!! Thank you so much!I love the vintage Rosary (and the other religious collectibles). I have been adding such lovelies to my home. They are not only beautiful but bring a sense of peace. They make me feel good..... blessed.Thanks for hosting each week!Best,Elizabeth

Hi Patti! Oh, what a sweet collection. I loved going to Sunday School. Mine was held in the basement of our church and was always so cool in there. I love the flannel graph board my teacher would use to tell us Bible stories. Oh, the sweet memories. I'm happy to be joining your party today!Be a sweetie,Shelia

I don't know why, during a long time I couldn't arrive to your blog : I had the first page but impossible to arrive to posts. So happy to be here before I start to VENICE carnival on thursday !I use to collect antique china virgins and I love your collection.Xoxo from PARISJoëlle

When we cleaned our mom's house after she passed...we found some papers from church and some little red testiment books. I divvied out my collection of my daughters papers to them when I moved here. I hope they saved some of them, for their children to see.xoxo,Susie

Hi Patti. Great collection to have. My bible study teacher was short and round with snow white hair. She had a way of moving her lips when she talked and read aloud to us that I always remember, but I can't remember her name!.Thanks for hosting..Happy Wednesday..Judy

Patti, thanks for sharing those sweet cards and Bible lessons with us. It did bring back fond memories of Sunday School days as a little girl. I visited the church I grew up in when my sweet brother passed away this past October. I went through all the rooms. They were so much like the way I remembered and I took a moment to just breathe in the fragrance of each room, so I could store it afresh in my memory.

How beautiful! The mother-of-pearl piece...maybe a little prayer book...caught my eye! And those cards are such sweet reminders of lessons that were so important for the children...how come we don't have beautiful artwork cards like that today for our own children??? The cost wouldn't be that much...and I know I'd pay it. Seems like so much is made to just be thrown in the trash nowadays. Such a sweet collection! I'm so glad you shared it with us this week!Blessings,Doni

Hello Patti,First of all, I wanted to tell you that I have come over and visited many times and tried to leave a comment, but every time I did there were no blog posts, just an empty blank space. I'm not sure what was going on, but I'm so glad that I got through today. Oh yes, I remember Sunday school. These cards are so precious. I can see why you wanted to collect a few. I hope the new year is being kind to you girls. Have a lovely evening.~Sheri at Red Rose Alley

Hi Patti,we don't have that kind of Sunday school here in Germany but we have special mass for children. And those I remember well. We also have some similar cards with lovely pictures of Jesus, Maria or other Saints and backside prayers. And for sure we collected them and swaped with friends. Nice memories, indeed. You have such a nice way to arrange those memorabilias and to take photos. They all look like treasures then. I hope little Lydia had a reason for missing this 2nd Sunday, may be she was ill? Isn't that nice, that someone saved those things. Who would remember her otherwise? Thank you for sharing this post and for hosting this sweet party.Best greetings, Johanna

The Bible card do bring me back to my childhood. I remember vividly, the picture of Noah reaching from the ark to the bird. So glad I found your blog and will be folloiwng. Patti@OldThingsNewhttp://patricia-krank.blogspot.com/

What memories! I loved Sunday School as a little girl, sweet dresses, gloves and hats. We had to do our SS lesson during the week and memorize or Bible verse to recite on Sunday morning.Blessings!!!Cindy

Hello Patty, What a beautiful post about the Sunday School/Church cards! The attendance card was too sweet...AAAHHH we need to go back to these lovely days! Your vignettes of all these religious collections are outstanding...Beautiful! Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving your sweet comments. I am your newest follower and look forward to seeing more! I would love to have you as my newest follower too! Have a blessed and wonderful weekend! Roxie

Oh dear Paula, great minds think alike, we both adore boxes! I was so lucky to find your party open, because I just posted this one yesterday with my collection of boxes. Thank you lovely lady for your sweet and kind comments, I was so happy to hear from you. Thanks for the "late party joining"..I love to be here!! Enjoy your weekend.FABBY

I didn't have Sunday School cards, but I had prayer cards that usually held a prayer on one side, then the photo of a deceased family member, with dates of birth and death on the other. It sounds morbid now, but it was a lovely way to remember grandparents and those gone before. They stayed in my prayer book and were there as reminders every Sunday.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and also, for following me:) I love your treasures! I love finding new linky parties also so I'll definitely link up next time:) Hope you're having a lovely weekend!

Patti, I remember those days so vividly. I wore lace socks, patent leather shoes, bows and frilly dresses, I was such a girly girl. Those were the days and going to Church was just about the only place we went. I miss those days! Thanks for the memories! (No body dresses any more, I hate that)!

I adore those little lesson cards. I remember getting them, and they always had a memory verse on them, too, that you had to learn before next Sunday! I usually procrastinated and learned it in the car on my way to church the following week. ;P

I remember wearing little white gloves in the spring. I was thinking about this today when my 15 year old went to church wearing jeans. I guess Jesus doesn't mind but mama does! :/

I am finally able to come see you before I run out to a teaching assignment this morning. This post brings back wonderful memories of growing up in South Central Los Angeles and going to cathecism. My mother collected all these cards and I have many of them from my grandmother's day! And that little mother of pearl prayer book? I always wanted one for first communion! I remember the black patent leather shoes and the frilly dresses. Thank you for this memory!

What a sweet treasure to find! I actually remember getting bible study cards in Sunday school. I am so glad these found their way to you were they will be treasured! Thank you for sharing them with us at TTF.

Hi Patti, I was feeling a little discouraged this morning, then I saw the words, Jesus loves me. Just what I needed to hear, I trust in Him completely, couldn't make it a day without Him. But sometimes we just need to be reminded. Thank you so much, loved your post. Jeannie
